It took three seasons, but America was finally treated to its first-ever million dollar champion on Deal or No Deal.

The winner? 27-year-old Jessica Robinson. This pregnant stay-at-home mom - sorry, Bristol Palin, you're not the only famous pregnant person in the news this week - earned the honor (and the wads of cash that came along with it) on last night's show.

Robinson is from Sandee, Utah, native and is expecting a boy at the end of September.

"All along I knew I wanted to pick briefcase number four because there's soon going to be four people in our family. It just made sense," she told People Magazine.

The best part about winning?

"[The] peace of mind... I'm a stay-at-home mom and I know I contribute to my family, but there are times I feel I don't contribute because I'm not getting a paycheck, and at the end of the day, I'm the spender," Jessica said. "This will take the burden off [of my husband] being the breadwinner and taking care of us."

Don't ask us why President George W. Bush felt the need to appear on Deal or No Deal this week. Maybe he thinks he's running for a third term.

God help us.

Here's a clip of G-Dubs on the game show, though, mocking the fact that his approval ratings are at an all-time high due to an irresponsible war and an atrocious economy. What a kidder...

In Random Reality TV Guest Star news:

President Bush will appear, via taped message from The White House, on Monday's episode of Deal or No Deal.

The show will feature Capt. Joseph Kobes, a Purple Heart and Bronze Star recipient who has served in Iraq three times, as he attempts to win enough cash to pay off his parents' house.

The President will surprise him by saying he must return to the Middle East. Just kidding.

President Bush actually appear on screen to express gratitude for Kobes' service and wish him luck in the game.

What, you think it's easy to hold a suitcase on the game show Deal or No Deal?

As a recent New York Times article detailed, the modeling job on this series isn't nearly as simple as it looks on TV:

For the 26 women who take the stage each week on the NBC hit game show, life is not all glamour and sequins and witty repartee with the host, Howie Mandel.

At a taping in mid-January, for instance, there was the 14-hour workday, 8 ½ hours of which involved some or all of the models standing on an Arctic-like soundstage in short, short sleeveless dresses and four-inch heels.

The models are a popular part of this game show that "has no trivia, no stunts, no skill," as Mr. Mandel put it. "The first time I heard about it, I thought, there's no game."One television critic, Phil Rosenthal of The Chicago Tribune, put it less delicately, calling the program an elaborate version of "How many fingers do I have behind my back?"

Deal or No Deal has some surprises up its sleeve when the popular game show finishes its second season this June by leading into the premieres of returning reality show this summer:

On Tuesday, June 5, host Howie Mandel will surprise Mary Mirolla, an expectant mom from Lake Balboa, California, at her house and play Deal on her front lawn, complete with the models, the Banker and her son's favorite performers, The Wiggles.

Following this episode, last summer's number-one new series America's Got Talent (9-11pm ET) returns for its second season. The talent competition series will feature new host Jerry Springer, and new judge Sharon Osbourne, who will join actor/singer David Hasselhoff and U.K. TV personality Piers Morgan as the celebrity panelists.

On Wednesday, June 13, the Miami Heat's Dwyane Wade will surprise contestant Arthur Joseph in one of the most heartfelt episodes ever. Afterwards, you can watch the fifth season premiere of the hit series Last Comic Standing (9-11pm ET) featuring new host, actor-comedian Bill Bellamy.

Deal or No Deal's season two finale will conclude on Monday, June 18 with special guest star Danny Glover surprising action movie fanatic, Laurel Martin, a grandmother and schoolteacher from St. Louis, Missouri.

Immediately following the season finale is the premiere of NBC's new reality dating series Age of Love (9-10 p.m. ET), hosted by Mark Consuelos. Tennis star Mark Philippoussis is the lucky bachelor who is looking for an ace in the love department among two very different groups of women, one younger and one older.

There have been a great many deals (or no deals) made over the last few months.

In fact, Deal or No Deal celebrates its landmark 100th episode in its second season tonight. Hosted by Howie Mandel, the wildly popular game show has given away more than $16 million dollars to date and averages over 15 million viewers per week.

For the 100th episode, favorite Deal or No Deal contestants from the past will fill the audience - and everyone is surprised when Mandel invites Brooks Leach of Mt. Vernon, Arkansas to join him on stage for a second chance to try his luck at becoming a millionaire.

The fun-loving entrepreneur - spoiler alert! - plays his heart out as he tries to top his $10-winnings from the November 27, 2006 game; he also receives a surprise of a lifetime when his favorite rocker Ozzy Osbourne makes an appearance to wish him well as he plays the game.

In addition, special congratulatory video messages were sent to Howie by Jay Leno, Regis Philbin, Jackie Chan, Celine Dion, and Heroes cast members Hayden Panettiere and Zachary Quinto.

Never mind that Deal or No Deal features 26 beautiful models and comedian Howie Mandel as host. On this game show, the players are the real stars.

A bouncy Eskimo carrying Alaskan snow. A giant man in a kilt. A pair of sisters on roller skates. An Italian dad who can't stop cursing in his native tongue.

These are just some of the colorful contestants who have made the show NBC's biggest hit, reports Sandy Cohen of The Associated Press.

"We're finding these people that we fall in love with," said executive producer Scott St. John. "We're giving them this incredible chance, and it's so much fun to ride shotgun with them."

In the game, a player attempts to win up to $1 million by eliminating cash amounts tucked inside shiny silver briefcases (each accompanied by its own model). At various points during the game, the show's "banker" offers the player a deal - a guaranteed cash payout that would end the case-opening.

With its one-player focus, "we knew right off the bat we would need really engaging people to play our game," St. John said. "Overall, it's someone who is enthusiastic . . . folks who have their emotions out there for people to see."

Contestant Anteia Greer of Dyersburg, Tenn., was so overwhelmed by the banker's $100,000 offer that she threw herself on the floor mid-show. Her friends thought she had fainted.

"You don't pitter-pat with a million dollars," she explained. "You scream and yell, you jump up and down."

Another player's family brought a stack of plates along and smashed them on the floor in enthusiasm each time the banker's offer was announced. One contestant lifted weights during commercial breaks. Another sang karaoke and clog-danced in hopes of upping his offer.

"Originality is everything," said casting producer Neal Konstantini, whose staff of 13 chooses the contestants. "They've got to be fun. They've got to be zany and wild and energetic. I'm not putting on anybody who's going to bore you."

But a good player is hard to find. More than 150,000 audition tapes have been submitted, and thousands turned out for casting calls around the country. Just a fraction of the candidates had what it takes, he said: "Somewhere in the neighborhood of one or two percent actually make it on the show."

Looks like there's more than one way to make money on Deal or No Deal.

You can be a contestant, obviously. O you can literally trip over a fortune, as one recent audience member is hoping for. An unidentified female fan is suing Deal or No Deal producers after tripping on her way down to participate in an audience dance number.

According to the suit, the audience member was pressured by show insider to "hurry up." She also blames her fall on poor lighting. (Sure, she was probably blinded by dollar signs.)

The so-called victim suffered what she claims are great personal and physical injuries resulting in wage loss, hospital and medical expense, general damage, loss of earning capacity, and, of course, pain and suffering.

But the case gets even more bizarre: the plaintiff was actually employed as a paid extra. This broadens the claim legally - and could result in further headaches for the crew.

It also makes us wonder: how the heck does one become a paid audience member on a game show? Sign us up for that job, please.
